It's a juggling act for Jennifer Connelly as she plays the doting mother with daughter Agnes between takes on Winter's Tale set

It seems Jennifer will do anything to entertain her darling little girl while filming a movie, even drop the calm reserve that usually is associated with the dark-haired beauty.

The 42-year-old actress showed a rarely-seen fun-loving side when her 20-month-old daughter Agnes paid her a visit to the Winter's Tale set in New York.

So excited: Jennifer Connelly enjoyed a break from filming Winter's Tale in New York on Monday with her adorable daughter Agnes, 20 months

And judging by the beaming smiles and animated playtime they shared on Monday, mother and child had a wonderful time.

The star was able to enjoy some one-on-one time with Agnes between scenes, leaving her husband of ten years, actor Paul Bettany, in charge of their son, Stellan, nine, and Jennifer's son, Kai, 15, from a previous relationship with photographer David Dugan.

At one point Jennifer managed to step away from the cameras and take her darling daughter for a walk around the set.

Animated: Jennifer got a boost of energy just having her cute toddler around and was spotted making some pretty funny faces too

So happy: Jennifer treated Agnes, who turns two in May, to a stroll through wintry Central Park

One on one time: The real-life mother and daughter beamed as they traipsed the streets

She's got her babe: Jennifer kept Agnes close as
they took another walk through New York's Columbus Circle, where the
star's fantasy film Winter's Tale was filming that day

No doubt the little girl was marveling at all the big movie equipment on display everywhere she looked.

The
day was chilly but fortunately Jennifer was stayed warm in a
fleece-lined navy coat, skirt and opaque black stockings, along with
lace-up boots, perhaps one of her costumes on the movie.

Agnes
was bundled up in a black down-padded jacket, denim trousers and purple
stockings, along with a fetching pair of blue suede shoes.

If I could fly: Jennifer looked like she was having a fun time on Monday filming a scene with co-star Ripley Sobo with arms outstretched

Keeping cosy: The stars covered up in their warm clothing to record scenes

The child also wore a brightly
coloured knit cap to keep her ears and cheeks warm, no doubt a good way
for Jennifer to keep an eye on her among all those crew members.

Jennifer even got a little silly, entertaining Agnes by making funny faces. Her energy was amazing.

The same day, Jennifer switched into more casual clothes - a down jacket like Agnes' as well as jeans and scarf.

In character: It was back to work for beautiful Jennifer, who managed to calm down from her exuberant play with Agnes by then
